Oaths and curses are a proof of a most heroic courage, at least in appearance, which answers the same end.
Mary Collyer
Image
Oaths are the counterfeit money with which we pay the sacrifice of love.
Ninon de L'Enclos
Image
Oaths are not the credit of men but men of oaths.
Aeschylus
Image
Oaths are the fossils of piety.
George Santayana
Image
Oaths are but words, and words are but wind.
Samuel Butler
Image
A liar is always lavish of oaths.
Pierre Corneille
Image
Abortion is not a theological problem, it is a human problem, it is a medical problem. You kill one person to save another, in the best case scenario. Or to live comfortably, no? It's against the Hippocratic oaths doctors must take.
Pope Francis
Image
There are few things sweeter in this world than the guileless, hotheaded, intemperate, open admiration of a junior. Even a woman in her blindest devotion does not fall into the gait of the man she adores, tilt her bonnet to the angle at which he wears his hat, or interlard her speech with his pet oaths.
Rudyard Kipling
Image
Rash oaths, whether kept or broken, frequently produce guilt.
Samuel Johnson

The oaths of a woman I inscribe on water.
Sophocles

Married love between man and woman is bigger than oaths guarded by right of nature.
Aeschylus
Image
A very little boy stood upon a heap of gravel for the honour of Rum Alley. He was throwing stones at howling urchins from Devil's Row, who were circling madly about the heap and pelting him. His infantile countenance was livid with the fury of battle. His small body was writhing in the delivery of oaths.
Stephen Crane
Image
I have perceived much beauty In the hoarse oaths that kept our courage straight Heard music in the silentness of duty Found peace where shell-storms spouted reddest spate.
Wilfred Owen
Image
Language cannot describe the scene that followed the shouts, oaths, frantic gestures, taunts, replies, and little fights and therefore I shall not attempt it.
Augustus Baldwin Longstreet
Image
His words are bonds, his oaths are oracles his love sincere, his thoughts immaculate his tears pure messengers sent from his heart his heart as far from fraud, as heaven from earth
William Shakespeare
Image
What use of oaths, of promise, or of test, where men regard no God but interest?
Edmund Waller
Image
A whoreson jackanapes must take me up for swearing as if I borrowed mine oaths of him and might not spend them at my pleasure. When a gentleman is disposed to swear, it is not for any standers-by to curtail his oaths, ha?
William Shakespeare
Image
With a bloody flux of oaths vows deep revenge.
Francis Quarles
Image
Do not give dalliance too much rein the strongest oaths are straw to the fire in the blood.
William Shakespeare
Image
For oaths are straws, men's faiths are wafer-cakes, And hold-fast is the only dog.
William Shakespeare
Image
Whoever considers the number of absurd and ridiculous oaths necessary to be taken at present in most countries, on being admitted into any society or profession whatever, will be less surprised to find prevarication still prevailing, where perjury has led the way.
Guillaume Thomas Francois Raynal
Image
The very word 'secrecy' is repugnant in a free and open society and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths, and to secret proceedings.
John F. Kennedy
Image
Those who take oaths to politically powerful secret societies cannot be depended on for loyalty to a democratic republic.
John Quincy Adams
Image
I may be a little old-fashioned, but I actually believe that if you live and work in our house and you work on our payroll and you take oaths, then integrity matters in elections.
